"School discipline kept from public view Policy hides sex, drug infractions and more," By Annie Martin

this was a very interesting post because it actually took place at the highschool i went to which is very disturbing. i had rumors about the events of this article through former classmates but never got the whole story till now. i wasn't in band class but knew of the instructor. in this article it discusses how the former band director had had various sexual relations and even sexual endeavors on campus with students. other faculty members have admitted and testified of Jennings acts even telling of instances when he was caught. however Jennings the band instructor stays confident that he will be proven innocent. 

the problem was that there were many claims made against Jennings before his termination and even teachers who came forward stating they had caught Jennings having sex on school property. however this was never disclosed to the local public.

those affect would be the parents and students who are aimlessly attending these schools unaware of the acts being committed by its faculty till its a headline news story.

"Green card? Pay up: It's American tradition"

the orlando city lions, our beloved soccer team has brought about some controversy with their recent antics. the focus is on them providing a front of the line all access pass to green card for foreign investors to fund their stadium. in hind sight you wouldn't see this as bad because at the end of the day we are granting access to our beautiful country right? wrong. All they are doing is allowing those with the deepest pockets the right to cut every had working immigrant in line and get they're well bought instead of well deserved card. 

the problem is that it degrades the process of becoming a citizen for the us. it boils down to what our biggest problem is always focusing on money and only rewarding those have to bank to pay. 

i think everyone is affected by this problem not only the countless immigrants who are desperately awaiting their green card and are being unfairly passed up by people with a big check. it also affects the people who support the lions and whether they want to be associated with such behavior. and to citizens who have to think is this what we want out process to look like. surrounded by money.

Students to retake AP exam

during the recent AP exams for the students of orange county there was small discrepancy with big effects. an anonymous tip came in stating that the students were sitting to close to each other which would invalidate their exams. when the college board reviwe the video and photo of the test takingroms they ruled that the students had to retake the test because they appeared to be 4 feet from each other instead of the regulated 5 feet.

the problem is that many of the students because they were under the impression that they were done with school the material has been out of sight out of mind. its been over two weeks and they will be expect to preform just as they did when they took the exam the first time. The results of the exam not only effect highschool transcript but also go on record for their college transcripts retaking exams and not preforming to par because of the lag time could have major negative effects for the students.

the students of the orange county district who are retaking the ap tests are the ones affected and even facilitators who were negligent in making sure the room was following the correct regulations.

Reimburse coalition for voters' sake

the league of women voters of Florida have been fighting for the last five years to get legislators to abide by the fair districts amendments to get partisan politics out. the supreme court granted their fight and we thought all was well. 

except when the group asked for reimbursement for the legal costs they endured with countless appeals and trials. the divided supreme court refused. this is awful because the group had fought so hard and won but now theft with a trophy of debt as a reward. 

this affect the womensvoters group because they are fighting for funds they are rightly fully owed because they one the petition. it also affects all Florida voters because it discourages them from fighting for they're right to vote because after the decision the government wont have your back.
